Gaelic Inspiration

We arrived on the Emerald Isle on Monday and are working our way around the coast of Southern Ireland. It’s stunningly beautiful and rugged all at the same time and remind us of North Devon and Dorset. And the people couldn’t be more friendly. What is whetting my appetite however, is the numerous sources of inspiration.

Yesterday we visited the Drombeg Circle (also known as the Druid’s Altar) just a short 20 minute walk from our campsite. It’s setting is amazing in itself but also the fact that it dates back to long, long ago.

Our travels via the Ring of Kerry today (a rather sketchy route with a 6m van!) also featured the Druids View which passed us by before I could stop for a photo opportunity. All of which reminded me that I have a sketch of a story, somewhere… must go and check it out!
